Ah, the belly gun, the snubnose (short-barreled) revolver. Belly guns have a long history and can be roughly defined as any revolver with a short barrel typically intended for concealed carry. I usually associate the name as coming from carrying the gun tucked into the waistband against the belly for quick and easy access. |

Shares of Smith & Wesson and Ruger plummeted roughly 15% on news of a Republican victory due to anticipated tapering of panic sales and hysteria led by 2A proponents. Firearm sales hit record numbers in 2016 but are expected to decline sharply in 2017 as the new administration is no longer considered a threat to the second amendment.

Donald Trump�s victory ushers in what the NRA�s Wayne LaPierre describes as a historic �moment to go on offense� and to take new ground for the Second Amendment, rather than spend the next four years trapped in a defensive position. The offensive will include national reciprocity, also known as national right to carry, as well as deregulation of suppressors, rolling back President Obama�s executive orders, and abolishing gun-free zones on military bases. |

Concerned by a spike in stolen guns in the city of Hartford, police are reaching out to legal gun owners in the capital city and asking them to take better care of their weapons. Last year, 17 guns were stolen in the city. This year, 17 guns were stolen by the time 2016 hit August. And just last week, three more guns were reportedly stolen from the home of a man who had recently died. |

3-D printed guns are back in the news after Queensland Police reported last week that they had discovered a 3-D printer in a raid on what appeared to be a "large-scale" weapons production facility as a part of Operation Oscar Quantum. According to police, the raid uncovered homemade weapons and ammunition in a workshop manufacturing facility "containing equipment used in the production of fully automatic machine guns, including a 3-D printer, lathes, drill presses and other tools". |

The U.S. Marine Corps has equipped a battalion's worth of infantrymen with suppressors. The result are combat units better able to hear one other on the battlefield, meaning they can spread out farther and cover more ground. Guns are loud. The sound of a gunshot can range from discomforting to downright painful, depending on the caliber and the distance from gun to listener. From a range of four to six feet, a M4 carbine, M249 squad automatic weapon, or M240 medium machine gun is between 159 to 164 decibels in loudness. Such loud noises cause immediate temporary hearing loss and contribute to permanent hearing loss over the long term. |

While some folks have written off the AR-15 pistol as nothing more than a range toy, others have chosen this semi-automatic pistol platform to serve as a primary or secondary defensive option. Although I've enjoyed shooting rifle-action pistols in a variety of configurations for some time now, I hadn�t really considered the possibility of staging one for personal protection until last year. |
